Kingston is the big town near you.

I cant believe that humans ate a random ass tree and thought: this is alright, actually. And now we have cinnamon

or how any alcoholic beverage came about.
I’d guess cinnamon like aspirin (also treebark) was medicinal first. and people have tried almost everything as medicine at some point

Mmmm medicinal cheese.
I just saw, mixed in with cow’s ears and chicken legs amongst the dog treats in the horrors of a pet superstore, a treat labelled ‘100% natural’ as a big selling point. I was intrigued what was more natural than the ear of a cow. It turns out the answer is: a treat made from fermented yak’s milk.

My mum’s dog loves those.

I think I’m mainly weary of the use of the word ‘natural’. It’s a non-specific word that’s now simply a bullshit marketing tool. Are there gradations of ‘natural’? Botulinum toxin has been highly genetically conserved over millions of years, and pre-dates humans, but you probably dont want it in your dog treats.

You don’t know my opinion of mum’s dog.

I suppose it’s a little too passive in its habits to be said also to predate them. Oh well.

It’s inside the M25, my northern ignorance says ‘London’
Twickenham deosn’t look too far, so I may shoot you a DM once it’s confirmed. Equally my head might need time to recover from the training.

No worries. Just clarifying that it’s not Central London

My daughter is 12 today. I’m still amazed that I’ve kept a child alive and (relatively) unharmed for that long. As usual my wife knocked the cake decorating out the park.

I do not care what my dentist thinks. 3D scanners have not yet been mineratuized enough to put inside my mouth.

You just gave me an idea for a 3D print… loose teeth for my D&D dice bag! Perfect for Halloween

Maybe I can get the model for my half a tooth.
It’s pretty cool what they did. They took 3d scans of the relevant bit of my mouth (the back lower right molar, tooth 31) before they did anything and then again after drilling. That lets them program a cnc milling machine to make a half crown, which they then glued in place. They did a tiny bit of fitting, but much less than when they did it by taking molds, and it gets done in two hours intstead of two visits.

I’m watching a TV drama in Telugu, and they use a lot of English. The fun part is when someone says out loud “what the fuck?” and the subtitles read “what the hell?” shortly followed by “you backstabbing motherfucker” reading as “you backstabbing scoundrel”.

Apparently, food delivery apps are now “scamming” you by charging you with higher prices compare to going there by yourself. I agree that the prices are a big turn-off and I don’t use them, but scam isn’t the word.
I’m amazed on how many people are just the combo of economically illiterate + entitled man-children.

I agree, and it’s not like they’re not adding something

I think more accurately the apps charge the restaurant a fee for using their service. Often quoted as a around 33%. Frequently the restaurants opt to add this in to their pricing structure for their menu on the app. So certainly not the apps ‘scamming’ you. I think there are many economic aspects around this that may not be savoury but that’s a much bigger discussion. It does make the app added service charge a bit annoying to me though.

I guess it depends if they’re adding a delivery charge - if they then make the food more expensive as well, that’s double dipping. Not a scam so much as slightly sharp practice, I guess. You’d assume they make their profit from the delivery or charges to the restaurant.
Edit: EnterTheWyvern probably said it better…
